Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup whole milk, warmed
- 2 large eggs
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- 1. Prepare the dough: Combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let it froth for about 5 minutes.
- 2. Mix in flour and eggs until a sticky dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- 3. Allow the dough to rise: Place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour).
- 4. Make the filling: In a bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar. Slice strawberries.
- 5. Roll out the dough: On a floured surface, roll dough into a rectangle (¼ inch thick). Spread butter and sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly.
- 6. Add strawberries and roll up tightly from one end into a log; slice into approximately 12 equal pieces.
- 7. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise briefly before baking for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- 8. Prepare the frosting: Whip cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until creamy; adjust consistency as needed.
- 9. Frost warm rolls directly after baking.
